After losing the vote to end debate on the bill 49-51, Harris went home, and the special vote to “carve-out” the filibuster for this bill only failed 48-52.

No one. All 50 republicans joined with Manchin and Sinema to beat back the rule change.

Sorry to disappoint you.

Maybe if they change the name of the bill to the Vote Fraud Bill then it’ll pass.

Their vector always points to how much authority they can obtain for themselves. If they vote to give up the filibuster, they luze authority.

Joe "Corn Pop" Biden just had himself a bad day.
